Mark, looks like a 4 point bar. Any reason why you’ve gone to 4 point in the recent builds instead of the 6 or 8 (don’t recall exactly) you done in some projects?

To be honest to save time and money. The full cages are cool but make everything harder. Harder to make the cage itself. Harder to cleanly fit the dash pad. The park brake becomes an issue. Hard to fit the Vintage Air.

Also at work for our track cars we have gone the the same set up. I design the safety equipment to plan for a front end impact. If I have an issue I plan to crash nose in. I might survive.

You know these cars better than I, but I always thought my car suffered from flexing in front of the cowl. Before Hood pins, the hood would pop auto crossing and road racing with solid body mounts. I thought down bars would help stabilize, but that’s speculation.

Love the build!

The weld in subframe connects help a lot.

Yes a full cage is better if you want a stiffer car. If you want a fast track car buy a C6 Z06 and save yourself a lot of time and money.

You used 2 intercooler pumps but one intercooler radiator . The LT5 ZR1 has two intercoolers which are smaller which is why there are 2 pumps in it I would guess. With one intercooler in your car, do you use 2 pumps to increase the flow and improve cooling or to help make sure both sides have equal flow? I ask because the crate engine controller is set up for one pump, the ZL1 pump from what I can glean from the documentation.

Did you run both your pumps off the factory harness by tapping into it and adding a plug for the 2nd pump?

I added 2 nd pump because my engine makes over 900 HP. I reworked the wiring in the fuse box and up gauged the wiring to run 2 pumps.

The team that did the create engine development claim one pump is good. I used 2 like the stock ZR1.
